Dose and life stage-dependent effects of dietary beta-carotene supplementation on the growth and development of the Booroolong frog

This study is the first to show that dietary beta-carotene supplementation has a dose and life stage-dependent effect on vertebrate growth and development. Knowledge in this domain could assist with the captive breeding of threatened species.
